Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Ada Lovelace used to say: Shleppppppp it! Bitcoin price We closed the day, August 09 2020, at a price of $11,675. That’s a minor 0.52 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$61.59. It was the lowest closing price in one day.

As Schopenhauer used to say: Intelligence is in the eye of the beholder! Bitcoin price We closed the day, August 13 2020, at a price of $11,784.

The experiment was conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge and led by biologist Jason Chin. It involved creating a complete artificial genome with everything the scientists believed an organism needs to live – and nothing it doesn’t. This streamlined code then replaced the E coli bacteria’s until the new life form no longer had any natural DNA code. DNA is made up of puzzle pieces that fit together in countless different combinations to form different living organisms, but we all use the same pieces....

AI-generated videos called “Deepfakes” started flooding the internet a few years back when bad actors realized they could be used to exploit women and, potentially, spread political misinformation. The first generation of these AI systems produced relatively easy-to-spot fakes but further development has lead to fakes that are harder than ever to detect. Read: How to stop deepfakes from destroying trust in society To this end, numerous researchers have developed AI-powered methods by which Deepfakes and other similar AI-generated fake videos can be detected....

Here’s what’s on offer: Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman: Arkham City Batman: Arkham Knight LEGO® Batman™: The Videogame LEGO® Batman™ 2: DC Super Heroes LEGO® Batman™ 3: Beyond Gotham These are all third-person adventure titles, with plenty of ass-kicking and detective work to do. The first three were developed by Rocksteady Studios, and are some of the best action games made in the 2010s, thanks to their excellent combat system. Although they’re a few years old now, I found the graphics and gameplay held up quite well when I beat the entire bunch a second time over the past couple of months....

10 of the company’s Apollo Go are now operating at Beijing’s Shougang Park – one of the venues of the upcoming 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics – covering a 3 square kilometer range with eight pick-up/drop-off stops, reported Shanghai Daily. With no driver behind the wheel, Baidu aims to deliver a real driverless experience à la Waymo, although for now, a safety staff member occupies the front passenger seat to take over in case of an emergency....

Authorities believe the Bitcoin, found on hard drives seized in 2013, to be the proceeds of illegal activity — specifically the selling of large amounts of cannabis via seminal dark web marketplace Silk Road. On the other hand, the trafficker (D.A.L.) says investigators applied to keep the hard drives despite receiving separate orders to return them – allegations reportedly deemed “extremely serious” in a ruling this week. In 2013, police were called to D....

But now I do. And this is all down to discovering this incredible chart of Apple Watch bands from the folks over at Bandbreite. The Apple Watch band chart includes every official strap the company released since April 2015. It also includes Apple Watch bands from Nike and Hermès, both official partners of the wearable. There are more than 350 straps on the chart and they’re organized by their type and color — which really makes the whole thing aesthetically pleasing....

It works like this: Sign in to your Sonos account and go to the Trade Up tab. Once you confirm the device you’re recycling, you’ll receive your discount. Your old device will then go into a ‘Recycle Mode’ after 21 days. This will clear the device of all data and permanently deactivate it. While you can ship the devices back to Sonos with a pre-paid shipping label, the company suggests you instead take the device to a certified local recycler or a participating retailer....

Do you want to work for a social enterprise with an inspiring mission? Do you see yourself thriving in a company that’s fully remote? And probably the most important question is, do you want to work at a startup or join a corporation? You may be wondering if the size of a company is really that important. If you’re only working with people in your team, does it really matter if there are 50 or 500?...

As the world has learned about Theranos’ web of deception – whether through John Carreyrou’s bestselling book, “Bad Blood,” Apple’s podcast series “The Dropout” or Hulu’s streaming series of the same name – Holmes’ supposed attempt to alter her voice is a detail that captivates audiences. The behavior might strike some people as bizarre, even sociopathic. But because of my training in vocology, the study of vocalization, and my interest in speech biases, I’m intrigued by why Holmes may have felt compelled to change her voice in the first place....

If you grew up back in the old days — like, 2002 — you probably think of playing video games primarily on a game console or a PC. But just like everything else, gaming has gone mobile. And the shift has been radical and speedy. Data groups App Annie and IDC estimate revenue generated by mobile gaming will top $100 billion in 2020. For perspective, that number is more than triple the total sales of games for the top three home gaming consoles Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch combined....

On Women’s Equality Day in 2020, it’s appropriate to revisit Borg’s moonshot challenge. Today, awareness of the gender diversity problem in tech has increased, and professional development programs have improved women’s skills and opportunities. But special programs and “fixing women” by improving their skills have not been enough. By and large, the tech field doesn’t need to fix women, it needs to fix itself. As former head of a national supercomputer center and a data scientist, I know that cultural change is hard but not impossible....

Sure, it’s pretty crummy when you get news that your vehicle might be destined to failure due to a manufacturing defect. But the real kicker is that Tesla isn’t legally obligated to fix them, yet. [Read: Meet the 4 scale-ups using data to save the planet] In a letter to the manufacturer the NHTSA asked Tesla to recall some Model S and Model X vehicles because the touchscreens can fail after years of use, WSJ reports....

In an email sent to employees — seen by Electrek — Tesla’s head of HR said that all salaried employees that are able to work from home or are considered to have a critical role, are taking temporary pay cuts from between 10% and 30%. [Read: Alternative electrode materials could unlock the secret to faster-charging EV batteries] Everyone else (read those that are not considered critical to Tesla‘s business or cannot work from home) will be furloughed for the time being....

Beeb can access the broadcaster’s radio, music, podcasts, news, and weather services. It was built with Microsoft’s AI tech and is being tested on PCs by members of the Windows Insider Program ahead of a wider roll-out. Notably, the BBC has eschewed the trend for giving digital assistants female voices — another example of how tech amplifies social prejudices. It also speaks in a northern English accent, a refreshing departure from the cut-glass accent of “educated south-eastern England” that’s so synonymous with the broadcaster it’s become known as BBC English....

Have you seen the new video chronicling the final minutes of a drone before it’s swallowed by lava gushing out of a Icelandic volcano? Beyond watching the majestic power of lava gurgle and surge before snaring the poor drone in its deathgrip, it’s easy to forget that a shot like this wouldn’t even have been safely possible just a few years ago. Drones and those powerful cameras they carry skyward are capable of capturing everything from truly awe-inspiring shoots all the way to the simple and mundane....
